About Freedom Faction

Cambridge UK based punk band... the bio....

"FF describe their 2nd album as '10 tracks of liquid punk.' Which is spot on."

"Cambridge’s FREEDOM FACTION were soon tearing into a tight set of ’80’s-inspired rabble rousers on the new band stage. If this lot had been around in ’81 they’d have been a worthy addition to the Apocalypse Now Tour." (Vive Le Rock’s review 11/17). Freedom Faction are a punk band from Cambridge, UK. They first formed in 1986, playing all over the UK and building up a strong following over the next 3.5 years. After some time out and working on various other projects, Freedom Faction was reformed 15 years later. FF have supported most of the well-known bands within the punk scene and have appeared at many major festivals including Rebellion and The Great British Alternative Festival.

Louder Than War review of Freedom Faction’s album Habit of a Lifetime…

“Old School Punk” which is actually authentic, raw, fun and means it maan, says Ged Babey of punks-for-life Freedom Faction’s second album.

They describe their second album as “10 tracks of liquid punk”. Which is spot on. This is music for beer-drinkers but it is also eminently listenable for the accuracy with which they replicate the sound of the Users, Art Attacks, 999 and Slaughter and the Dogs -the real-deal punks who made raw, passionate, funny and infectious music.

Out of the ten songs on offer here, there are plenty of decent tracks with cool riffs that could quite easily have slotted into the first wave of punk alongside bands such as Chelsea and The Wasps. It’s rare to find this kind of nostalgic blend of punk rock at the moment with an old school style production behind it and listening to this takes me back to an era when simple songwriting was what punk was all about.

FF will be playing on the Introducing Stage at the THE GREAT BRITISH ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL on Friday 6th October. The festival runs from 6th – 8th Oct at Butlins in Skegness, come along for some awesome seaside punk and bowling!
